2018年12月17日 · As explained by Robson (2002), there are three possible forms of research design: exploratory, descriptive and explanatory. His base of classification relies on the purpose of the research area...

2021年1月1日 · Experimental research is a study that strictly adheres to a scientific research design. It includes a hypothesis, a variable that can be manipulated by the researcher, and variables that can...

This chapter will start with defining research design, classifying various designs and explaining the difference between exploratory and conclusive research designs by comparing and contrasting the basic research designs: exploratory, descriptive and causal.

This paper investigates what research design is, the different kinds of research design and how a researcher can choose the appropriate research design for his/her study. The study reveals that research design choice is guided by a careful analysis of statement of the problem, research questions, conceptual /theoretical framework and analyzing ...

In brief, research design must, at least, contain: a) a clear statement of the research problem; (b) procedures and techniques to be used for gathering information; (c) the population to be studied; and (d) methods to be used in processing and analysing data.

Exploratory research is defined by Burns and Groove (2001:374) as research conducted to gain new insights, discover new ideas, and for increasing knowledge of the phenomenon.

Exploratory studies tend toward loose structures, with the objective of discovering future research tasks. The immediate purpose is usually to develop hypotheses or questions for future research. The formal study begins where the exploration leaves off—with a hypothesis or research question.

1. research design in case of exploratory research studies; 2. research design in case of descriptive and diagnostic research studies, and 3. research design in case of hypothesis-testing research studies.

This chapter presents the descriptions of the research design, followed by sample and population, time and place of the study, the instrument, the procedures for data collection, validity and reliability of the study, and lastly the description of how the data will be analyzed.
